Hey Sis, You’re Still That Girl—Even at 45 and Beyond

Gray-haired actress being interviewed.

This new season? It's still your time to shine.


Let’s have a real conversation. No fluff. No filter. No apology.


You’re older now. Maybe you’ve hit 45… 50… even 60. You’ve probably noticed some things shifting (and not just your teeth—we already talked about that). Your body’s doing things it never warned you about. Hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, and a waistline that clearly didn’t get the “don’t expand” memo.


But do you know what else is happening?


You’ve grown wiser. Stronger. Bolder. You’re more sure of who you are now than you ever were in your twenties—when your eyebrows were thinner (remember those thin brows we loved), but so was your confidence.


Sis, you are still desirable. Still beautiful. Still magnetic. Not in spite of your age—because of it. There’s something powerful about a woman who’s lived a little, seen some things, and still shows up for herself.



Let me be clear: you are not invisible. The world may try to market “anti-aging” like you’re supposed to fade quietly into the background, but you know better. This is not the end of your story—it’s the sequel with a better plotline.

  • Want to start a new career? Do it.

  • Want to fall in love again (or with yourself)? Go for it.

  • Want to launch that business, travel solo, write the book, become a Pilates instructor, or take a nap whenever you feel like it? Sis, it’s your life.


No, your knees may not cooperate like they used to. Yes, you now read menus with squinted eyes or a backup pair of readers. And yes, some days, you might feel tired or like you missed your window. But listen to me carefully: You haven’t missed anything.


You are right on time.


This season is full of potential—because you’re not chasing perfection anymore. You’re embracing presence. And presence, my friend, is powerful.


So whether you’re embracing your gray, chasing your goals, or just figuring things out one cup of tea at a time…you still matter. You still have magic. You still have more to do, more to give, and more to become.


So get out there and remind the world: She’s still got it.


Until the next hot flash…

About LB

I’m 57 (yep, I said it).
People say I don’t look it—but my knees and metabolism disagree. I’ve written 45+ books, I’m a wife, mom, and proud Yaya. This blog? It’s been a long time coming. I’m finally doing it—for me, and for every woman figuring out this hot-flashing, hilarious season of life.
